Oh, I should add.
that's the real reason the Republicans were out to impeach Clinton before he was even inaugerated. His 92 tax increase on the rich forced people the ultra-rich to shell out their first tax dollar in almost 12 years.
Contrast that to both Bush AND Reagan (and now McCain) who have given huge tax windfalls to the extremely wealthy and made them retroactive to their inaugeration. For that reason the economy stalled, the nation was awash with red ink and blacks were particularly hurt because 1) the has-been industries were back in favor and 2) the mountains of red-ink deficits wiped out any discretionary spending on programs to pull people out of poverty.

am doing this
Go ahead and judge Senator Obama on his record, on his positions, on his personality on his intentions, but please, not on internet posters!
I am. That's the problem. He has a record of virtually no accomplishments and his entire campaign is built around grandstanding on a speech back on a matter he had no skin in.
Since then he's divided the party apart with race-baiting and filthy tactics, knowing all along he doesn't have a prayer of getting elected.

@ madamfauntleroy: Dialogue?
You haven't had ANY dialogue with me. Calling me racist, elitist and other crap doesn't count. You can't comment on any pro-Clinton posts without spewing hatred. Rational? Toads are more rational than you...and they probably make better pets.
Last post to your foul-mouthed type of "hope."
Got hate?

Sigh.
Shawn. I'll try to explain this as slowly and clearly as possible:
You posted a link that said that black poverty had decreased by 33% under Clinton. I posted a link that said it had decreased by 10%. You claimed that blacks had increased their median income by $17,000 per year under Clinton (meaning that black should have had a median income in 2000 of over $140,000). The same link I posted says that the median income increased approx 4% per year. I've never said that progress wasn't made under Clinton. The point that I was making was that in addition to the progress there were mistakes. I was making the point that there are differences of opinion and that the issue is much more complicated than you are making it.
The Journal that you cited also featured an article saying that Obama is the right choice for black voters. By your own conclusions, then they must be racist and self hating blacks as well.
Thanks for your pity and your insults, but I don't need them. I'm running intellectual circles around you and it's tedious and, I'm realizing now, completely unproductive. I won't engage you any further.

My suggestion would be for people to prepare for 8 years of McCain.
With Charlie Crist as his VP that locks up Florida, and the independents. Crist is known, rightfully, as a REpublican that's been less than a fanatical partisan hack.
McCain/Crist will be unbeatable. All as the inept, incompetent Howard Dean and the DNC he bankrupted stagger helplessly on the sidelines. They're going to retake Congress too and probably in big numbers.
I admit too after all this it disgusts me that HRC would even consider having this dirty,egomanic, Barrack Obama on her ticket. But that's not my say. Just turns me off and reeks of desperation. And it won't work. Will just ensure Dems never get the hispanic vote again.
So, no matter what now, Dems lose. I've prepared for it under Bush. I have acquired a more credentials and skills in fairly recession proof industries in addition to the white collar profession I had. Meaning I have plan A,B and C for the worst of the worst in the economy.
I suggest the rest of you do the same and very quickly.

Nonsense LBJ
I posted a link that said black median income had risen by 33%, not that black poverty had fallen by 33% in the Clinton years. Black poverty fell by 22%.
Not bad for eight years. And this is how you thank em.
You're amazingly self-destructive.
Anyway, all your link did was confirm what I said, that blacks did extremely well under Clinton and lost almost all of it under Bush.
There were reasons for this fiscal policy and industry alignment which I have already explained. Whites lost big under Bush too so don't feel so special.

Dry Doc
Proctology is obviously your specialty. So glad to know you don't give a damn. That shakes me to my core. Your judgement regarding the trivial pursuit of this thread is apropos of exactly nothing. I never claimed to be anything other than a college student doing precinct work for Robert Kennedy. Nice straw man. If you can find your stethoscope, you know where to stick it. Must be tough getting through doorways with that bloated ego, that sense that you were put here to judge others. Hillary is not a lesbian, as far as I know, and I wouldn't care if she were. If she were as strong a woman as all of you sycophants claim, she would have thrown Bill's clothes on the White House lawn and told the bastard to live on Air Force One. She could have proceeded to become Senator Rodham. but she loves power above all, and she's ridden that name to a good, solid second place. As I've gone on record, if she overtakes Obama in the pledged delegate count, I'll vote for her without hesitation. She's vanilla, and artificial vanilla at that, but it beats anything the oligarchs, neocons, pharisees, and fascists have to offer. To cop a very old apocryphal story about an actor who received a scathingly bad review: "I am sitting in the smallest room of my house. Your review is in front of me. It will soon be behind me." That's what I think of you and your Babbitry, "doc".

You are an annoying gnat of twittering stupidity who passes herself off as an intellectual. Such arrogance for being such an ignorant racist. Goodbye

Oh, and for the ever "intellectually superior" Little Lord
I suppose the 1.5 million poor Africans getting HIV medication as a direct result of his efforts and fundraising are as worthless as the 17,000 dollar median income rise and poverty reductions for black Americans right.
Yes, Sir/Madame, you just keep running them intellectual circles around me.
